Rheostatic or dynamic braking:

  • In this method, the electric motor is disconnected from the supply during the braking period and is reconnected across same electrical resistance
  • The field winding is continuously excited from the supply in the same direction
  • During the braking period all the kinetic energy of the rotating parts is converted into electrical energy and is dissipated across the electrical resistance
  • Electrical energy not drawn by the motor during braking period
  • It can be applied to both DC and AC motors
  • It is very effective in the case of a separately excited dc motor
